U.S. forces (under a &#8220;Zionist&#8221; Trump ecosystem) are positioning for major military action. Iran is only one target; the broader goal is territorial expansion to create Greater Israel, encompassing all of Jordan, most of Syria, all of Lebanon, significant parts of Egypt and Saudi Arabia, chunks of Iraq, and more. Yon cites public statements and maps from Israeli leaders like Netanyahu as evidence, calling it an open, non-conspiratorial plan.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Actions will extend beyond Iran to Gulf states, Turkey, Egypt, and eventually Europe. This could trigger famines (a theme Yon has emphasized since 2020), attacks on infrastructure like the Mosul Dam, and global spillover.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/henrymakow.com\/2026\/06\/june-29--michael-yon-trump-preparing.html\">Continues \u2026\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Yon argues there are no credible peace talks&#8211;they are a distraction.
